Cultivating b.caapi and p.viridis
    #14885827 -

I've jut bought some p.viridis and b.caapi cuttings.

I'm trying to find some info on how to grow them. Has anyone got any experience with these.

This info is regarding B. caapi from seed, but...I assume it would still work.

"Prepare a well-draining soil mixture. We have
had success germinating banisteriopsis caapi with several
different soil compositions, but we recommend using potting soil
mixed with about 25% perlite. Avoid using seed starting mixes
or soils heavy in peat because you want something richer that
would resemble forest soil. In forests, the rainforest
especially, there is vast supply of plant material to enrich the
soil. As mentioned before, it is also important to have a
well-draining soil because banisteriopsis caapi seeds are
somewhat prone to fungus attacks. By removing excess moisture,
it reduces that risk. Fungus attacks that do occur can be
treated with chamomile tea, or you may even choose to use it to
water your plants initially. Chamomile has natural antifungal
properties. It is a good choice because it is organic."

Hmm, there probably are better mixes *shrugs* but it would do, and P. Viridis will take to the same soil mix.

*Wanted to add compost tea/foliar feeding has done well for me.

This is caapi from seed, but once it's mature it's fairly straightforward to grow. It has average water needs and does not usually present too many problems.  You can move it outdoors in the summer months if it freezes in your area. It will do well under lights too. Down south you can leave it in the ground where it has a tendency to grow extremely large and fast.

Zaka made caapi cuttings look insanely easy in this thread.  Most of us don't live in the tropics though :smirk:
